Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Erst radikal, dann liberal? Die belgische Anti-Apartheid-Bewegung in den 1980er Jahren
No full textDie 1980er Jahre können als eine Zeit zunehmender Turbulenzen und Unsicherheiten angesehen werden. Etliche politische Initiativen und soziale Bewegungen entstanden direkt aus den sozialpolitischen Konflikten dieser Zeit. Andere jedoch, die in den 1980er Jahren besonders aktiv waren, bestanden bereits seit Längerem, aber im unruhigen politischen Klima der damaligen Zeit erlebten selbst deren Aktivitäten wesentliche Veränderungen. Eine der langlebigsten dieser Bewegungen war die weltweite Bewegung gegen die Rassentrennung und Diskriminierungspolitik des südafrikanischen Apartheid-Regimes. Ausgehend von den diplomatischen Anstrengungen der südafrikanischen nationalen Befreiungsbewegungen hat sie sich in ein globales Phänomen entwickelt, welches die politischen Erfahrungen vieler unterschiedlicher politischer Kulturen und sozialer Bewegungen nutzen konnte. Nach einem Höhepunkt der Mobilisierung in den späten 1980er Jahren endete das ununterbrochene Bestehen dieser Bewegung mit den allgemeinen Wahlen in Südafrika im April 1994, zu denen erstmals alle erwachsenen Bürger der Republik zugelassen waren
The Quest for Transnational Authority, the Anti-Apartheid Movements of the European Community
No full textThe Quest for Transnational Authority. The Anti-Apartheid Movements of the European Community
The anti-apartheid movement has been widely recognized as an important global actor in the second half of the twentieth century. This article makes a contribution to recent efforts to understand anti-apartheid as a transnational social movement. Its primary focus lies with the anti-apartheid organizations in the countries of the European Community (ec) and their attempts to influence the decision making of their national governments. The ec process of foreign policy cooperation, it is argued, offered a serious constraint to lobbying activities geared at the national level. Antiapartheid organizations therefore felt compelled to coordinate their activities at a transnational level. This culminated in the creation of the Liaison Group of National Anti-Apartheid Movements in the Countries of the European Community.La quête de l’autorité transnationale. Les mouvements anti-apartheid dans la Communauté européenne
Le mouvement anti-apartheid est largement reconnu comme un acteur mondial important dans la seconde moitié du xxe siècle. Cet article étudie ce mouvement en tant que mouvement social transnational. L’accent est mis sur les organisations anti-apartheid dans les pays de la Communauté européenne et leurs tentatives pour influencer les décisions de leurs gouvernements nationaux. D’après l’auteur, le processus de coopération européenne concernant la politique étrangère entravait le lobbying à l’échelon national. Par conséquent, les organisations anti-apartheid se sentaient obligées de coordonner leurs activités au niveau transnational. Cela a abouti à la création du Groupe de liaison des mouvements nationaux anti-apartheid dans les pays de la Communauté européenne.De zoektocht naar transnationaal gezag. De anti-apartheidsbewegingen in de Europese Gemeenschap
De anti-apartheidsbeweging is wijd erkend als een belangrijke mondiale actor uit de tweede helft van de twintigste eeuw. Dit artikel levert een bijdrage tot recente inspanningen om anti-apartheid te begrijpen als een transnationale sociale beweging. De aandacht gaat vooral naar de anti-apartheidsorganisaties in de landen van de Europese Gemeenschap (eg) en hun pogingen om het besluitvormingsproces van nationale overheden te beïnvloeden. Het eg-proces van samenwerking rond buitenlands beleid, zo wordt betoogd, vormde een ernstige beperking op lobbyactiviteiten die gericht waren op het nationale niveau. Anti-apartheidsorganisaties voelden zich dan ook genoodzaakt om hun activiteiten op een transnationaal niveau te coördineren. Dit bereikte een hoogtepunt met de oprichting van de Liaison Group of National Anti-Apartheid Movements in the Countries of the European Community.Goedertier Wouter.

Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
